Cui Juncai once again lowered the very rough dogskin hat on his head, blocking his face.

He had several of the latest newspapers in his hand.

On the last page of the newspaper, there was a new advertisement in the advertisement of the last rice exchange, and it was a notice that you could take this advertisement to Linjiazhuang to exchange rice.

However, this time it is obviously more than last time.

The above introduction is that in order to celebrate, in the first year of the establishment of Yiyueru Commercial Bank, as long as you hold this newspaper, you can exchange it for 20 catties of rice.

Cui Juncai's family is now destitute, except for a grass house in the nearby Cuijia Village, which was kept because it had no value, all the other fields, real estate, and so on have all been collected and auctioned by Steward Cai and the officials of Jiangning Mansion.

He was joined by two other talented men and a few other businessmen.

The Bai family relied on the thick foundation and barely survived.

Today is the end of February, and the New Year will be celebrated in a few days, but the lively scene of my home in previous years can not be seen this year, and the rice jar of the house is empty, and the jewelry on my wife is all in the dang, and there is nothing to do.

And all this was brought about by the appearance of that person named Cao Yan.

Thinking of this, Cui Juncai squeezed the newspaper's hand and squeezed it tighter.

He wanted to throw what he was holding on to the ground, stomping hard and foaming at the mouthful.

But in the end, he endured.

The family was already poor two days ago and couldn't open the pot, and these days they have relied on digging some wild vegetables in the mountains and touching some fish and shrimp by the river to barely wrap their stomachs.

And during this time, he also tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.

Thinking of the relatives and friends who were flattering to him in the village before, and now they look sneering at their own home, he clenched his fist fiercely.

He understands these two words, he has now begun to use these two words, in the real motivation of himself, in more than a month, he must be on the list, get ahead, revenge, others have no way to deal with it, but Cao Yan is still sure, as long as he fails the test, he will definitely be able to deal with him.

"Next." A shout interrupted his thoughts.

Cui Juncai was stunned, looking at the empty team in front of him, and in front of the counter in front of him, several children who were sitting or standing were looking at him with doubts.

The person behind hurriedly pushed him, "Brother, it's your turn, whether you can change it or not, if you don't change it, go to the side, don't stand in our way." ”

"Change!" Cui Juncai hurriedly walked a few steps and handed over the newspaper and household registration: "Four people, this is our household registration ......"

……

……

"Hey, isn't this Cui Gongzi?" Xiaoyudian and Zhong Xinyi walked on the main road in front of Linjiazhuang, followed by a few bodyguards on both of them, and she shouted at Cui Juncai on the other side of the street.

Zhong Xinyi looked at Xiaoyudian again with a little annoyance, she actually saw Cui Juncai from a long distance, so she deliberately detoured to this side of the road, and thought that her own mouthy little girl actually went to say hello across the street.

"Cui Gongzi, hello." There was no way, Zhong Xinyi, who originally planned not to say hello, could only give an embarrassing salute.

"Well, hello Miss Zhong." Cui Juncai returned the salute, hurriedly lowered his head, walked a few steps with rice, and disappeared into the sea of people.

"You did it on purpose?" Zhong Xinyi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, wanting to knock a few times on Xiaoyudi's head.

Along the way, Xiao Yudian had already specially greeted the three talents of Jiangning Mansion.

"How is that possible?" How can Xiaoyudi admit it.

"I remember when I met them before, you ignored them, why do you take the initiative to say hello across the street now?" Zhong Xinyi obviously didn't believe it, and her fist had already leaned towards Xiao Yudian's head.

Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Xiaoyudian's eyes rolled, "Miss, you misunderstood, haven't you seen you for a long time, I will say hello when I meet you, if I see you every day, I won't say hello!" ”

"Really?" Zhong Xinyi expressed skepticism.

"Hey, Cao Gongzi ......" Xiaoyudian saw Cao Yan from a distance, hurriedly shouted, and ran over.

Zhong Xinyi was a little speechless, didn't she say that she would see you every day and not say hello?

This Cao Yan, haven't you seen it every day recently!

……

Cao Yan here is taking Lin Ruyi and a few children in charge of exchanging food to talk about the issue of exchanging food today.

When he heard the sound of light raindrops behind him, he turned his head to look.

Seeing the little raindrops running over and Zhong Xinyi who was slowly following, Cao Yan greeted them with a smile: "Miss Zhong, hello Xiaoyudian." ”

"Gongzi Cao, Sister Ruyi, do you know those people we met just now?" As soon as the light raindrop came, he asked in a chatter.

"Who?" Cao Yan didn't interject, he knew that Yi Xiaoyudian's idle character definitely didn't need to ask himself, this sentence was asked by Lin Ruyi.

"We met Choi Jun-jae and them."

"Them?" Cao Yan didn't understand what they meant.

"It's Cui Juncai, Zhang Wenrui, Ji Feiang!" Xiaoyudian explained.

"Oh, what are they doing here?" Cao Yan frowned, and asked suspiciously, these people, but they are their inexplicable enemies, are they still ready to come over to find their own trouble?

"Change the rice!" Xiaoyudian looked at the long line on the side of the road and pointed to the newspaper everyone was holding.

"Changing rice?" The three goods came to exchange rice for themselves? Shouldn't it?

"Ahh Xiaoyudian, who just wanted to speak again, was knocked on the head by Zhong Xinyi and let out a painful cry.

"Brother Cao, the last time Cai Xiang's country happened, several of them went bankrupt." Zhong Xinyi glared at Xiaoyudian, turned her head and explained to Cao Yan with a smile.

"Oh." Cao Yan understood, and then muttered, "So miserable? ”

"Yes, they used to be quite arrogant, they didn't have many friends, and now they still offend Cai Xiangguo, and others dare not associate with them anymore......" Zhong Xinyi didn't come to explain urgently, and when she heard the light raindrops of Cao Yan's muttering, she said to Cao Yan.

After speaking, Xiaoyudian pursed her lips: "These people are really thick-skinned, they have done so many bad things to Cao Gongzi, and they are embarrassed to come to exchange rice, they are really shameless." ”

"Hmmm! Well! That's right! Cao Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.

Zhong Xinyi looked at Cao Yan, who was as childish as Xiaoyudian, angrily, shook her head and smiled: "By the way, when I came here before, I met Li Zhutou, and he asked me to tell you that Jiang Hongtu has been let out." ”

"Released?"

"Well, his sister Jiang Xiuni brought the family of the corpse and the neighbors nearby, and the characteristics she said were all correct, proving that she was the private slave of Jiang Hongtu's family."

"Then the next time I meet Li Zhutou, thank him well." This is not good news for Cao Yan, nor is it bad news, he already knew that this deceased person was his girl, and when he left, Cao Yan had seen the girl.

"Now it is said that several of them are working very hard, and Cao Gongzi should also work hard in preparation for this spring test." This is a disguised reminder that Cao Yan should work hard to read, because in recent days, Zhong Xinyi has always been in Linjiazhuang when she comes to work in the newspaper and sees Cao Yan wandering around.

And the very unreliable Luo Ming in the past, it is said that he got the true biography of Cao Yan, and now he reads at home every day, except for an occasional trip to Governor Zhang's house to ask him for advice, or come to Cao Yan to study with him in the study, and I haven't heard of going there to study.

Even Zhang Mu'er felt a little incredible when she talked about it.

And what is even more incredible is that Zhang Jingtong even told Zhang Muer that if there is no accident this time, Luo Ming should be able to jump to the plate.

Although this made everyone feel weird, more people believed it.

Because Luo Ming said in person, Cao Yan helped him get a very powerful learning method, but what it was, Luo Ming did not say.

Cao Yan listened to Zhong Xinyi's words and was a little embarrassed, "Well, I'll work hard." ”

"By the way, this is my family, and I bought tea from somewhere else, I don't know if it suits Brother Cao's taste." Zhong Xinyi took a bag of tea from a female bodyguard behind her and handed it to Cao Yan.

"Thank you, I have a heart." Cao Yan took the package with a smile.

In the past few days, the shareholders of those who remember the moon like a commercial bank have all asked their families to bring tea to themselves, including Xiang Yixin who also gave the so-called "imperial tea" of eighteen tea trees in front of Hugong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain.

Cao Yan asked, only to know that it was Luo Ming who visited all these people's homes and asked them for tea.

When everyone asked, they knew that Cao Yan wanted it, so they sent it by themselves, without Luo Ming's hand.

"Now the circulation of newspapers can be distributed without relying on advertising, 30,000 or 40,000 copies per issue." Zhong Xinyi looked at the newspaper in the hands of the endless queue and said suddenly.

"Thank you for your hard work." Although the effect has not yet reached their expectations, compared to other studies, this number is indeed proud, and there are still fewer literate people in this era.

"Many people asked people to bring letters to the newspaper, saying that the stories in each issue were too short, and they wanted to write more."

"Ah," Cao Yan's eyes jumped: "Don't pay attention to them, we are newspapers, not scripts." "Instead of thinking about asking for some stories to attract readers now, Cao Yan has long been out of planning to print stories in newspapers.

"By the way, what about the rest?"

"Fortunately, there are many people submitting articles in each issue, and I can't be busy alone, so I have recruited some people to help with the draft."

"Yes, if you have any good opinions, good columns can also be added."

"And more? Every issue of the newspaper is losing money. Zhong Xinyi was a little embarrassed, although it was not her own problem, and she didn't lose much, but she lost every time, which was a bit embarrassing.

"It's okay, I don't plan to make money for a while, now I just need to get it done."

Hearing this, Zhong Xinyi smiled helplessly: "Then Brother Cao, you are busy here, I went to the newspaper office." ”。

"Hmmm! Okay, if there's any problem, you just have to say it. ”

"Yes!"
